Are you tired of your compiler Just Working? Are you tired of having your standard library having the basic functionality you need? Do you long for the days when men were men, and debuggers operated on the assembly level? If so, Myrddin is for you.

I should say that things have come a long way since I wrote that – the language is still far from mature, and the libraries are far from batteries included, but I’m running into fewer and fewer pain points. I can even write thousands of lines of code without fixing a bug in the compiler.

Rust is definitely a lot safer. This project was started with the goal of being able to easily write relatively low level things like an OS, back when Rust still had a mandatory garbage collector, segmented stacks, and a much more complicated type system.

Over time, Rust actually seems to have moved towards where I was headed. And one of the things that I’m looking at is improving type safety, so there’s probably going to be some more convergence in the future.

And I’ve got features like first class Plan 9 (9 Front) support. Which are absolutely critical in a modern language.
